GPS Changes the Sport of Golf

Now this is just amazing. I was so surprised the first time I saw somebody whip out a hand held device on the golf range. At first I thought it was just somebody checking their calendar on their PDA, but wow I am glad I was wrong.

A GPS Golf Range Finder is one thing you will not want to live without if you want to improve your golf game. Now these units are not for everyone, some are dead set against them, but I say let's embrace technology and all it has to offer. Why not take advantage of something that could make the sport more enjoyable?

Besides personal satisfaction of getting a lower stroke number, a GPS golf range finder can also be considered a very important golf training aid. If I were a golf instructor, I would do the full gamut. First I would have my student set a baseline without any aids. Once the student felt comfortable with his range estimates, I would move him up to a mechanical golf range finder. And once my student had mastered that, I would move him up to a GPS golf range finder. I don't feel it is wise to start with the best, as it would not be appreciated. To fully appreciate what a GPS golf range finder can do for your game, you should have tried improving using the old-fashioned techniques and equipment.

Just like you cannot appreciate a GPS fish finder unless you have fished without one, you also cannot appreciate a GPS golf range finder unless you have golfed without one.
